The Screw Worm Bioweapon: A Threat to US Food Security and National Security

By OBBM Network Editorial Staff

Derived from an episode of Going Rogue With Lara Logan.

Imagine a fly that can lay eggs inside a living creature, which then hatch and eat the host from the inside out. This is the reality of the screw worm, a bioweapon that is being used by the Mexican cartels to control the food supply chain. The screw worm has been around for decades, but its impact on the US food industry is only now being felt. With the cartels using cattle to seize territory and control the food supply chain, the US is facing a crisis.

The Screw Worm Bioweapon

The screw worm is a fly that lays its eggs inside a living creature, which then hatch and eat the host from the inside out. This bioweapon is being used by the Mexican cartels to control the food supply chain. The cartels are using cattle to seize territory and control the food supply chain, making the US dependent on Mexican imports.

According to Ammon Blair, a senior research fellow at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, ‘the cartels know that territory matters, whether that’s in conventional war or asymmetric war. Having control of territory means that you can use that to forward your operations, whatever those operations are.’ The cartels are using the screw worm bioweapon to gain control of the food supply chain and to make the US dependent on Mexican imports.

The Impact on US Food Security

The screw worm bioweapon is having a significant impact on US food security. With the cartels controlling the food supply chain, the US is facing a crisis. The country is now dependent on Mexican imports, and the trade deficit is growing. This has resulted in a decline in the US ag industry, making it difficult for the country to feed itself.

Lara Logan, the host of Going Rogue, notes that ‘the Mexican cartels were seeking to gain territory. So, whether you’re an insurgency, a foreign terrorist organization or whatnot, territory matters.’ The cartels are using the screw worm bioweapon to gain control of the food supply chain and to make the US dependent on Mexican imports.

The National Security Implications

The screw worm bioweapon has significant national security implications. With the cartels controlling the food supply chain, the US is facing a crisis. The country is now dependent on Mexican imports, and the trade deficit is growing. This has resulted in a decline in the US ag industry, making it difficult for the country to feed itself.

As Ammon Blair notes, ‘the cartels are using the screw worm bioweapon to gain control of the food supply chain and to make the US dependent on Mexican imports.’ This has significant national security implications, as the US is now vulnerable to the cartels’ control.

In conclusion, the screw worm bioweapon poses a significant threat to US food security and national security. With the Mexican cartels using cattle to seize territory and control the food supply chain, the US is facing a crisis. The country is now dependent on Mexican imports, and the trade deficit is growing. This has resulted in a decline in the US ag industry, making it difficult for the country to feed itself.
